Cardiovascular–Renal Axis Disorders in Cats and Dogs

Cardiovascular–Renal Axis Disorders in Cats and Dogs provides a comprehensive clinical framework for diagnosing and managing patients with concurrent cardiac and renal impairment. The authors examine the pathophysiology of organ cross-talk, offering guidance on the use of diagnostic biomarkers such as NT-proBNP and SDMA to monitor organ health. The text is designed to assist veterinary surgeons and students in navigating the therapeutic challenges of treating one organ without further compromising the other, covering established diagnostic approaches and modern clinical management strategies.
